Big Rider's vs Jacket Dilema

[WEB-WVR]

OK men and ladies of the rotund aging sizes.... pps:

I am all for wearing protective riding gear but since health and old age has created a much bigger me...I am getting very frustrated in trying to find gear. I have given up on motorcycle jackets of all sizes as the size charts dont depict real size. :ani29: I am considering a Wrangler Denim Jacket as they go to 5X and 6X....better than a sweatshirt for protection....but again I am getting conflicting sizing information.

At this point a sweatshirt and jeans is it.

I wear a 4X to a 5X t-shirt (true to size). I have a 4X First Gear Mesh Tec Jacket (love it in Day Glo) but it is 4-5 inches from being able to zip it...they make none larger.

Any Ideas for a jacket in a true 5XL ???? :shocked: I know you can get leather custom made, but I cant afford a 600.00 jacket. I know I need to lose weight....that is another story. For now....some help from anyone would be appreciated. (I have spent at least 12 hours in internet searches)

Pants; I am going with jeans....I doubt I will find Motorcycle "overpants" in jumbo sizes.

Thankfully my Spyder fits and loves me.... :clap::thumbup:

I ordered a 5X Bilt waterproof jacket $99 and it's big on me at 5'11" and 300 LBS. It gets warm but I removed the liner and it was better especially when riding. It's been near 80 here all weekend. I really like it! The summer mesh jacket is $109. Good luck!!
